Abstract

The study aimed to know the effectiveness of practicing sports activities in reducing professional stress among physical education and sports teachers in the primary stage. For this purpose, we followed the descriptive approach, as the study sample consisted of 27 male and female physical education and sports teachers in the primary stage. The occupational stress scale was used as a measurement tool, and we used the following statistical coefficients in analyzing the results (validity, reliability, Pearson's simple correlation coefficient). The most important results of the study were the absence of statistically significant differences in the degree of professional stress among physical education and sports teachers in the primary stage who practice sports activities due to the age factor, and the absence of statistically significant differences in the degree of professional stress among physical education and sports teachers in the primary stage who practice sports activities due to the residential area. As for the most important suggestions and recommendations, they were represented in the beginning by the administration's contribution to supporting physical activities among physical education and sports teachers to strengthen their relationship, which is positively reflected in work coordination, and activating awareness of the role that physical activity plays in reducing the professional stress that teachers may be exposed to.
